<div class="description"><p>The ngSwitch directive is used to conditionally swap DOM structure on your template based on a scope expression.
Elements within ngSwitch but without ngSwitchWhen or ngSwitchDefault directives will be preserved at the location
as specified in the template.</p>

<p>The directive itself works similar to ngInclude, however, instead of downloading template code (or loading it
from the template cache), ngSwitch simply choses one of the nested elements and makes it visible based on which element
matches the value obtained from the evaluated expression. In other words, you define a container element
(where you place the directive), place an expression on the <strong>on="..." attribute</strong>
(or the <strong>ng-switch="..." attribute</strong>), define any inner elements inside of the directive and place
a when attribute per element. The when attribute is used to inform ngSwitch which element to display when the on
expression is evaluated. If a matching expression is not found via a when attribute then an element with the default
attribute is displayed.</p>

<p>Additionally, you can also provide animations via the ngAnimate attribute to animate the <strong>enter</strong>
and <strong>leave</strong> effects.</p></div>
<h2 id="Usage">Usage</h2>
<div class="usage"><p>This directive can be used as custom element, but we aware of <a href="guide/ie">IE restrictions</a>.</p><pre><code ng:non-bindable="">&lt;ANY ng-switch="expression"&gt;
&lt;ANY ng-switch-when="matchValue1"&gt;...&lt;/ANY&gt;
&lt;ANY ng-switch-when="matchValue2"&gt;...&lt;/ANY&gt;
&lt;ANY ng-switch-default&gt;...&lt;/ANY&gt;
&lt;/ANY&gt;</code>

<h3 id="Parameters">Parameters</h3>
<ul class="parameters"><li><code ng:non-bindable="">ngSwitch|on – {*} – </code>

</ul>
<h3 id="Animations">Animations</h3>
<div class="animations"><ul><li>enter - happens after the ngSwtich contents change and the matched child element is placed inside the container</li><li>leave - happens just after the ngSwitch contents change and just before the former contents are removed from the DOM</li></ul></div>
